What shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Romans 8:31-32

For most of us,  we've encountered a time in life when it felt like everything and everyone was against us. Nothing we did seemed to work out and people we associate with seemed to do everything in their power to make life miserable. Ever felt that way? Maybe on occasion...maybe for some it's almost a daily occurrence.

Don't be discouraged. Our adversaries can seem unrelenting in their attacks, yet as Christians, we serve a God who is above every attack and He uses every experience to strengthen our faith...even when the chips are down and we are ready to give up. I've found that when the troubled times come, God is working behind the scenes, with a plan in hand, to grow you and help you overcome the nuicences of life. 

What's required from us? We must give up, or surrender, our battle to God and allow His wisdom, His peace, His forgiveness to consume us so we can come out victorious on the other side of our circumstance. Trust me, He went through the humiliation and painful death to bring you into His graces and acceptance as a child of God. He watches over His children. We just need to entrust it into His care.  What or who is consuming your energy and enthusiasm for life? Give it up to God and He will see you through. God bless friend.
